More Details
The gatefold sleeve was designed and photographed by Marcus Keef. Originally to be titled 'War Pigs' this was changed at the last minute to avoid offending the US market due to their ongoing involvement in the Vietnam war, the original title makes more sense with Keef’s cover concept
The sleeve is unlaminated on the first pressing, with the credit to Jim Simpson/Big Bear Managament on the inner gatefold. This was immediately withdrawn as soon as it was issued due to contractual disputes between the band and Big Bear.
The sleeve was changed to a laminated finish (for 3rd and 4th issue) due to substantial wear to the outer black finish on the first two matt versions. A greenish tinge and the edges of the outer cover where it has been ‘wrapped under’ and glued to the inner gatefold can be seen on many original sleeves.
The label design features the large swirl logo above the spindle hole, with 'VERTIGO' at the botton below spindle hole & band name.
This design was used for both the first issue (with Big Bear credit) and the second issue (without Big Bear credit). There are two further swirl issues (with a laminated gatefold sleeve) with the smaller swirl logo and VERTIGO above the spindle.
The matrix numbers indicating that this copy was among the first pressed are:
SIDE A - 1 Y // 1 V 420
SIDE B - 2 Y // 1 V 420
Condition
The matt picture sleeve is a superb example. Usually prone to excessive wear & fading, this copy looks fantastic with none of the usual defects, just a small inch sized spot of edgewear resembling a seam split is above the Vertigo logo and three small creases on the spine edge, making this an Excellent graded sleeve.
The poly lined swirl inner is dated 0470.
The vinyl remains in staggering condition. With some spindle marks evident, upon very close inspection you can see a few light paper scuffs and tiny spots of cosmetic clouding but these have no impact on play whatsoever and mostly occupy only side B. The vinyl has retained its sheen & looks to have been extremely well looked after and played on good equipment. When the fairies walked on this disc, they were certainly not wearing boots.
An lovely example of this first pressing & one that I'm sure you'll be more than happy with.
